My boat came with a Dockmate 25 windlass on each end of the boat and they've come in very handy. Recently a spring failed in the front windlass so it wouldn't lift the anchor, so I had to lift the 30# anchor the full 100' of line--that's when you really know how good it is to have a windlass...

Just curious what the official towing position is supposed to be--slightly raised while supported by the short legs, or laying flat on the rail? (I have a 2006 2575RFi). When towing with it up on the short legs it really bounces around in the wind, even when tied down. Then when we trailered...

The strakes on my 2006 2575RFi have a hole at the rear end (~1.5"), plus they are not completely sealed all along the weld line with the toons. (This caused a small panic when boating one day with just my wife and I. Apparently we went fast enough for along enough time, and with the front end...

My boat has 2 live wells and each have an on/off valve right by where the water comes out inside the well--that way one can be turned on/off independent of the other well and the pump switch. My valves are black and blend in with the black water pipe so take a peek--hope it's that simple of a...

Finally got the subwoofer installed/wired (but not bolted down yet). To save some wiring hassles I bought the Bazooka FAST-9999 and FAST-BTAH universal wiring adapters. One of them connects to the wires between the stereo and the boat harness using Posi-lock connectors. Then the other plugs...

Thanks G&B. It may be a while before I get the sub installed--have to work on it outside and spring refuses to arrive here.

Thanks--that's what I thought since my graphic design friends couldn't find a match.

I'd like to match my boat registration letters/numbers to the same font used in the Bennington logo but can't figure out the font type. I have contacted Bennington and was referred to their graphics supplier, but the graphics company website says they only deal with companies and any consumer...

I was given a Bazooka EL6A-HP that I plan on installing in my 2575RFi, under the helm. The Bazooka manual says to connect the power feed directly to the battery to reduce noise. Connecting to the main battery would be tough to do since the boat is underskinned. I see some nice thick power lines...
